"At the DBT Institute we recommend assessing an individual's coping style before commencing a DBT or Radically Open DBT program. This can help identify usual coping patterns, informing the identification of the most appropriate therapeutic intervention, and contribute to a better understanding of how an individual manages stress and challenges"
Dr. Peter King, Clinical & Academic Lead
